A couple months ago I decided to grow a mix of lettuce. Seven days hadn’t pass and the seeds began to germinate. I got really excited and figured in a few weeks I would have a lot of lettuce and won’t have to buy salad at the grocery store for a while. Two weeks past before I realized that I needed more pots so that the lettuce had enough space to grow.
Fine.
Did that, during the transplanting, many didn’t survive.
Okay. At least I had at least one plant from each variety. About a week later I then realized that the plants were not growing. They were just there.
I figured maybe I should use garden soil rather than leaving them in potting soil. Surely enough after a couple days, I began to see improvement. Larger leaves, taller, etc.

Anyway, in the end (today) I decided I can’t wait for the lettuce to be done. The leaves looked good enough and I don’t think they should have lasted this long.
I picked the leaves, washed them, put in a small bowl, spread some Italian dressing on there, sad down and took a bite.

TERRIBLE!

I wouldn’t say it was a total waste. I did learn some things. Like:
1. Don’t try growing lettuce if living in an apartment.
2. Potting soil is not forever.
3. Miracle grow from day one.

This has nothing to do with the website but I figured I need to entertain my visitors with this info.
